Dong Mei's personality was calm, and she quickly calmed down. She stared at Li Qingling and retorted: "Because you are jealous of my young miss who is prettier than you, and because your family background is better than yours, so you did not hesitate to slander my young miss, and wanted to ruin his reputation." No matter what, she had to protect the little miss this time. "If you didn't insult the little miss with your words, the little miss wouldn't have lost her reason in anger."
In short, a thousand mistakes cannot be Young Miss's fault.
She must shift this mistake onto Li Qingling and pull the young miss out from it.
If the young miss were to bear the responsibility of killing someone, then her life would be ruined.
She coldly looked at Dong Mei, then turned to Tong Wangrong, who was hiding behind Dong Mei, "Tong Guniang, this servant of yours, is even better than the previous one.
She admired the fact that this servant girl could calm down so quickly.
Unfortunately, she, Li Qingling, was not a person who only bullied the weak and feared the strong.
Thinking of this, her expression turned cold, and stared at Tong Wangrong aggressively, "Tong Guniang, you dare to swear to the heavens, did I really insult you just now?"
This time, she wanted to finish Tong Wangrong off once and for all, so she didn't want her to come out again.
She didn't have that much energy to fight with her.
Tong Wan Rong raised her eyes to look at Li Qingling and met with her pair of cold eyes. She trembled in fear and stuttered, unable to say a word.
"Miss Li, my Miss is timid, don't scare her." Dong Mei was a little disappointed and resentful towards Tong Wangrong in his heart. How could she be so timid? If she had a little bit of aura, she wouldn't be suppressed by Li Qingling.
She could predict that when she returned to the manor, she wouldn't be able to escape a punishment.
It didn't matter if she was right or wrong, if something happened to Miss here, it must be her fault.
This was the sorrow of a maid. He had no choice.
Li Qingling's eyes then turned back to Dong Mei. He looked at Dong Mei for a moment, then raised three of his fingers and resolutely swore, "I, Li Qingling, swear. If I had insulted Tong Guniang just now, I would have been struck by lightning and would have died." Saying that, she lowered his hand and looked at Dong Mei with ridicule in his eyes, "I have already made a venomous oath, does your young miss dare? "Hmm?"
The people here believed in gods, so they wouldn't casually swear a poison oath.
Once Li Qingling gave his oath, the guests who were suspicious of Li Qingling turned to look at Li Qingling's side, and felt that if Li Qingling said something to insult them, they would not dare to swear anything.
As calm as Dong Mei, when she saw that Li Qingling did not hesitate to make a poison oath, he started to panic in his heart.
She didn't think that Li Qingling would use such a move, daring to so straightforwardly swear a poison oath.
She turned her head to look at the pale-faced Tong Wangrong, whose body was trembling, and sighed in her heart. This was truly a comparison between a human and a dead person.
If the Miss had Li Qingling's personality, they wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.
Seeing that Tong Wan Rong and Dong Mei did not speak, the guests started to jeer again.
"Tong Guniang, that little miss already swore, to prove that she didn't say anything to insult you, do you dare to swear?"
"That's right, Tong Guniang, do you dare to swear?"
"Heh, I think she doesn't dare to swear anymore. Those words just now must have been randomly spoken by the maid beside her."
More and more unpleasant words spread into Tong Wangrong's ears, causing her face to turn even paler. Li Qingling suspected that she might have fainted in the next moment.
As soon as she thought of that, she saw Tong Wangrong's body swaying.
Am I really going to faint?
It can't be, really?
"Miss, what's wrong?" Dong Mei screamed. Tong Wangrong glanced at Dong Mei and in the next moment, she closed her eyes and fainted into her embrace.
Li Qingling was dumbstruck, he never thought that Tong Wangrong would really be confused.
No, it could have been a feint, just to get away from here.
Her eyes turned as she asked worriedly, "Don't worry Miss Dong Mei, I know some medical skills, I can help you take a look at your young miss, what's going on?" With that, she lifted her leg and was about to walk over.
Dong Mei looked down at Tong Wangrong and saw that her eyelashes were slightly trembling. She knew that her young miss was pretending to be unconscious, and if Li Qingling walked over, she would definitely notice him.
She suddenly raised her head, looked at Li Qingling, and loudly berated him, "Don't come over here, you angered my Young Miss to the point of fainting, what else do you want? "Huh?" She had to get the young lady back to the mansion as soon as possible so that she would be able to bear less harm.
Hearing that, Li Qingling's raised leg dropped back down. She shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, "I was just asking if she dared to swear on his poison. With just that one sentence, are you angering her? "Then your young miss is too narrow-minded."
If they dared to harm her, Li Qingling, she would teach her a huge lesson, making her want to take big steps whenever she sees her in the future.
Dong Mei was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she was afraid that she would say too many mistakes. She glared at Li Qingling, bent down, and carried Tong Wangrong on his back, as he quickly walked down.
Looking at Tong Wan Rong and her servant, Zhao Yichen asked Li Qingling, "Are we going to let them go just like this?" If it was him, he would definitely not let them off.
This was all Li Qingling's fault, he did not dare interfere in so many things.
Li Qingling nodded his head, "Under the gazes of so many people, it's not good to go too far. Let them go!" People liked to sympathize with the weak. If she went too far, it would be her fault.
Moreover, after going through this matter, Tong Wangrong's reputation had been ruined, and this was the biggest punishment she could receive.
… ….
Once Tong Wangrong got on the carriage, she slowly opened her eyes as tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
She was really done for this time.
What should he do? Was there any chance to make amends?
Seeing Tong Wangrong silently crying, Dong Mei also felt very uncomfortable. "Miss, you must definitely tell Master and Madam about this matter, and let them seek justice for you." She didn't believe that they wouldn't be able to cure that country girl.
Tong Wangrong extended her hand and tightly gripped Dong Mei's hand as she choked with sobs, "Dong Mei, what good idea do you have?" As long as he could survive this crisis, he was willing to do anything.
"Miss, you'll have to pretend to be unconscious later. When we return to the mansion, I'll tell the old master and his wife about this matter."
The old master and his wife doted on the young lady so much that they would definitely feel pained upon seeing the young lady faint.
If she were to open her mouth again, the old master and his wife would definitely be angry, and by then, Li Qingling would be in trouble.
Tong Wangrong didn't have any ideas now, so she could only listen to Dong Mei.
It was just as Dong Mei had said. The Mr. Tong felt her heart ache knowing that Tong Wangrong had fainted, so she asked Dong Mei in a stern voice, What happened to Tong Wangrong outside?
Dong Mei knelt on the ground with a thump, her eyes red as she cried out, "Old master's wife, this is all my fault, I did not protect young miss properly."
"Tell me, what is going on?" Tong Furen's expression was very ugly.
Anyone who saw their daughter being carried back out of the house alive would feel very angry in their heart.
Dong Mei laid her head on the ground, and explained everything that had happened in an exaggerating manner. Of course, after she had said those words, the situation had completely changed.
All of these were blamed on Li Qingling.
After he finished listening, Tong Furen angrily broke a teacup and angrily glared at Mr. Tong, "Look, look, that's your good student. If you don't punish him, I'm not done with you."
She wouldn't let anyone off if she dared to anger her precious daughter.
Mr. Tong was also very angry, but he still had a little reason, so he defended Liu Zhimo a little, "What does it have to do with him? That was caused by his fiancée. " How could Liu Zhimo have such a fiancee?
With such an arrogant and despotic personality, how could he be worthy of her?
"I don't care, his fiancee's fault is his fault, he doesn't care about his fiancée, who should be blamed? And it's all his fault! " Tong Furen spoke unreasonably, "I see that you don't need to put in all your effort to guide him, I just want to see, without your guidance, will he still be able to become an Elementary Scholar?"
Tong Furen was blaming Li Qingling for everything that had happened.
Who asked Li Qingling to be his fiancee? It was up to him to take responsibility for the mistakes made by his fiancee.
Mr. Tong glanced at Tong Furen, and said snappily: "What are you saying?" If the students he taught could become Elementary Scholars, it would be his glory! Why hadn't Madame thought of that? Indeed, his hair was short, and he only cared about his eyes, not the future.
Seeing that Mr. Tong was unwilling to help her, Tong Furen was so angry that his face turned green. He threw two more cups on the floor, pointed at Mr. Tong and cursed, "Is Rong'er your daughter or not? She has suffered so much, as her father, how can you not help her? " She grinded her teeth in anger, and couldn't help but reach out to pinch Mr. Tong's waist, causing his face to flush red, "If you don't want to help your daughter vent her anger, then go and do it with your student, us two sisters will do it together."
She had never been so angry before. This time, her daughter's fainting had really caused her anger to boil.
If that countryside girl called Li Qingling was in front of her, she would have stepped forward and slapped her twice to let her know why flowers were so red.
Mr. Tong was so afraid of Tong Furen that he could only nod his head.
His daughter suffered a grievance, he must have told Liu Zhimo, for he must go back and properly look after his fiancee, should he restrain his temper, and not disgrace him outside.
One had to know, Liu Zhimo was someone who walked the path of an official. If he could not manage his own backyard, his career as an official would not be long.
Just because of this, he would properly tell Liu Zhimo about it.
Seeing the Mr. Tong nod his head, Tong Furen was not so angry.
She decided to find some time to meet Li Qingling and see who she was. She was so daring to bully her daughter.
When she saw her, she would definitely show it to her.
Let her see, her daughter from the Tong Family was not someone that could be easily bullied.
